I am in my late 50's and take 10 mg Adderall (via prescription) daily for focus. As a software engineer, I can write 300 lines of C code a day without Adderall, or 2,000+ lines of code a day with Adderall. The difference between using Adderall and not is night and day. I don;t take in on weekends or on days where I have a lot of meetings or know I will be interrupted multiple times during the day. It has a very positive effect on focus and productivity. I know others that are using ProVigil for similar reasons. While the long term consequences are relatively unknown, the benefits of smart drugs in the short term outweigh the risks in my opinion. It is not just college kids who are using these drugs.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bd6936bb3f7591800000bPatrick T.

I am the type of person who won't take a pill of any kind if I can get away with it. I won't take aspirin for a headache. I have been of the philosophy that most drugs are totally unnecessary and had been told that ADHD is a bogus condition. But then my son, who was five at the time, was diagnosed with ADHD.
I used to joke that he made the Energizer Bunny look positively anaemic by comparison but I was also aware that he suffered from a total lack of control over his physical movements and his inability to focus on anything. So I very reluctantly agreed to put him on medications which he takes to this day, six years later.
Today, he is happy, can control his seemingly inexhaustible amount of energy, and can focus like a laser beam on anything that interests him. Oh, and for the record, his meds are stimulants, not sedatives. Go figure!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bc7c269bedd156c000004naroWed, 15 Aug 2012 12:01:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bc7c269bedd156c000004
Most inner city and poor families are told by their social workers to apply for SS disability payment for their normal kids. SSI office will not even consider cases of ADHD who are not on medications. This is why so many kids are out on Addarla and others. It is a scam fo the families to get SSI disablity money, and a huge bonnanza for the drug companies who push it. ANY THNG THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GETS INVOLVED WITH BECOMES CORRUPTED IN NO TIME AT ALL.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bc54e6bb3f7ef76000012cmonsterWed, 15 Aug 2012 11:50:38 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bc54e6bb3f7ef76000012
Without the drugs, it would be more difficult indoctrinating children into the mindset of conformity, mediocrity and compliance. These things are necessary to produce indistinguishable, interchangeable, drones that will do what they're told by the government and to have their opinions programmed by the mass media. This allows the "smart parents" such as those who are politicians, to send their children to private schools which teaches their kids how to think independently and more importantly, manage (i.e. control) public school drones.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bc4186bb3f70777000005dgWed, 15 Aug 2012 11:45:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bc4186bb3f70777000005
